Replacing Accessory Fuse
The fuse box for the lights and other
electrical accessories will be found low
on the dashboard on the driver's side.
Inside the box you will find a list show-
ing the circuits protected by each fuse.
If any of your car's lights or other
electrical accessories stop working, a
blown fuse could be the reason. If the
fuse has burned out, you will see that
the metal strip inside the fuse has
burned through. If you suspect a blown
fuse, follow this procedure:
OMC045001
CAUTION:
When replacing a fusible link, never
use anything but a new fusible link
with the same or lower amperage
rating. Never use a piece of wire or
a higher-rated fusible link. This
could result in serious damage and
create a fire hazard.

Replacing a Fusible Link
OMC045003
A fusible link will melt if the electrical
circuits from the battery are ever over-
loaded, thus preventing damage to the
entire wiring harness. (This could be
caused by a short in the system draw-
ing too much current.) If this ever
happens, have a Hyundai dealer de-
termine the cause, repair the system
and replace the fusible link. The fusible
links are located in a fuse box for easy
inspection.
